QUITE A PRETTY
LITTLE POEM.
Inscribed to The Children of
Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter.
BY A UNION SOLDIER.
Mr. Hint Mm. CMr|>rut«r Met TIiIh NoliHer,
Wh.Mtt Nniiie U White, In Cooper Cnlon,
New York, Mini a Friendship Sprang I p i
Hetween Them—The Story.
Some time ago when Mr. and Mm.
W. 0. Carpenter, of our city, were
in New York on a pleasure visit they
chanced to meet up with a gentle
man by the name of William B.
White, who was a Union soldier dur
ing the war between the states.
This meeting occurred in the Cooper
Union and quite a friendship sprang
up between them, which still exists.
After Mr, and Mrs. Carpenter came
home the pleasant relations which
began in New York have been kept
up by means of a friendly and in
formal correspondence and the friend
ship strengthened by numerous
tokens of esteem and remembrance
from Mr. White to Mr. Carpenter’s
family.
Mr. White is a literary gentleman
and during the war he published
gratuitously a little paper called the
“Ninth Ward Little Picket,” “for
the DitTusion of Political Knowledge
and in the Interest of the Union Can
didates.” He has recently sent
several copies of this paper to Mrs.
Carpenter. They were published in
the fall of 1864 and contain some
very interesting reading matter on
the condition of things at that time.
Mr. White is a poet, too, of consid
erable ability and on last Christmas
he inscribed the following poem to
the children of Mr. and Mrs. Car
penter:
KRISS KRINGLE.
Inscribed to the little children of
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Carpenter.
BY WILLIAM B. WHITE.
Christmas,
. 1900.
KrUg Kringle.
The night It is cold and the winds fiercely
blow.
Ana the landscape and housetops arc cov
ered with snow;
"Why then, Santa Claus, are you traveling
to-night,
With the moon for your lantern to broaden
your sight?”
"’Tis the eve before Christmas, when Beth
lehem’s star
Shone bright in the skies and was seen from
afar
By the pilgrims who tramped till the break
of the morn,
When the child of sweet Mary—the Saviour
was born.”
"His advent on whom the awhile hosts
smiled,
Brought Joy and blessing for each little
cbllo.
And gave to the weary the hope of sweet rest,
To the penitent promised a home with the
B'est."
"Since then I have made It my custom logo
To succor the sick, and to mitigate woe,
And gladden the hearts of the poor and the
rich.
By llls rully sharing my bounty with each.”
”1 seek, with my reindeer and sleigh full of
toys.
The stockings of sweet little girls and good
boys;
But berc In the midnight I must not be
found;”
Then off on his mission be went with a bound.
Mamma heard the answer that Santa Claus
made,
Her darning aside In her work hisket laid,
And hurried the children away to their beds,
Who, to hide from papa, huddled under the
spreads.
Then up went the stocking of each little one,
Now dreaming of dolls or a soldier and gun.
By the side of the mantel that Santa could
In spite of the snow hake that dtopped in
his eye.
In thcstlllnessof night, when all were asleep,
Down the chimney he came with his snow-
covered feet.
A nd noting each stocking he mounted a chair.
To fill them with toys, giving each Fils full
share.
In dispensing his gifts he was careful to note
What the letters contained, the more anxious
ones wrote.
Which through Uncle Sam they to him had
addressed,
And In which their desires were fully ex
pressed.
One wanted a watch that would tell him the
time.
And another a book with stories In rhyme;
But the girl, mother like, a doll would prefer,
A natural Instinct becoming In her.
He granted their wishes as well as he could.
For some of the wrltlags were not under-
stood;
So falling their letters to ijulte understand.
Enjoined them to practice and write a plain
hand.
The dreams of the children made resiles*
the night,
And long lieforc Sol, with his sunbeams so
bright.
Had smiled on the day the little ones rose.
And frolicked with Joy as they sought out
their hose.
"O mamma! dear mamma!” with laughter
they cried.
As the numberless toys In their stockings
they soled.
And queried papa, In the midst of their joy,
If Santa Claus lived when he was a boy?
Mamma caught the spirit pervading each
child.
And papa, absorbed In their little pranks,
smiled;
While the household rejoiced In the beams of
delight.
That came with Krlss Krlngle that cold win
ter night.
O, who would discourage the pleasure that
comes
Through this fabulous Halnt to enliven our
homes.
And brings to our hearts such a round of
cheer
To welcome the new and to close the old year?
On the occasion of the reception
at Limestone College given by the
Winnie Davis Chapter, Daughters of
the Confederacy, to the Veterans and
sons of Veterans of Smith Lipscomb
Camp, Mrs. Carpenter sent Mr.
White an invitation to be present.
His reply was: “Your welcomed
letter just received, and seeing that
you celebrate tonight, I have only
time, if I would catch today's mail,
to simply acknowledge its receipt, i
thank you for the wish for my pre
sence, and as I cannot be with you
in the flesh, I come in the spirit, and
propose the accompanyiog sentiment.
Here’s to the Winnie Davis Chapter
Daughters of the Confederacy. While
rallying around (be old camp Area to
commemorate the patriotism of their
fathers whoso lives were sacriticed in
a lost cause, may their sympathies
be extended their sisters in the North,
whose memories cling to their loved
ones who fell in that great struggle,
and when closing their festivities
may they salute Old Glory,’ that
now waves us the symbol of a tmited
people, ever ready to defend it when
ever assailed by a foreign foe” i
In the second campaign of Lincoln
for the presidency, Mr. While took
an ective part. His paper, the “Lit
tle Picket,” was published at that
time and circulated gratuitously In
his (ninth) ward. He says it was
a novelty in its way and brought
him considerable notoriety. He was
elected councilman at that time to
represent his .district in the common
court of the city and the next year ho
was elected a member of the Board
of Aldermen, in which ho served
three years. It was then, he says,
that he made the greatest elTort of
his life in a speech in support of re
solutions against the veto of the
Freedmen’s Bureau Bill by President
Lincoln. Lincoln was assassinated
just at that time. The speech was
a masterly one and elicited praise
from several noted men. among whom
was Horace Greeley, of the New York
Tribune. Mrs. Carpenter has a copy
of the speech, which was delivered
on Feb. 21st., 1866.
After Mr. White’s term on the
Board of f 'dermon expired he was
appointed collector of internal
revenue by General Grant, and it
was here, he says, that he distin
guished himself by driving Jay Gouid
to the wall by making him, pay a
claim that “Uncle Sam” bad against
the Erie railroad, which was then in
the hands of Jay Gouid, and Jim
Fisk. When his term expired us a
collector, Mr. White was elected
secretary of the fire department of
the city of New York. Thus the
greater part of his life has been
passed in the public gaze.
Mr. White says he feels somewhat
akin to Mrs. Carpenter, us his
father’s sister married. Hiram
Brown, who was the first Mayor
of Manchester, New Hampshire, and
grand marshal of the escort that
accompanied President Franklin
Pierce from that state to the city of
Washington to be inaugurated.
Mr. White never loses an oppor
tunity to show his regard for Mr.
Carpenter and his family, and they
on their part, are always prompt to
show that the regrard is mutual.
We would be glad to have Mr. White
and his family visit our city at some
time in the near future.
